A hospital in northern Gaza has reported the first deaths of children from hunger since the beginning of the ongoing conflict. Medical staff at the Patients' Friends Hospital say they are overwhelmed by the growing number of malnourished children, with some dying despite having no underlying health conditions. Aid organizations warn that the situation is deteriorating, affecting not only children but also adults and hospital staff, who are struggling to provide essential services. While Israel has permitted limited aid shipments into Gaza, it claims that Hamas is disrupting distribution. The United Nations attributes the crisis to Israeli restrictions and is urging for full humanitarian access to address the escalating emergency.

Gaza hospital reports first child deaths from hunger amid aid crisis

A growing number of malnourished children are arriving at Gaza's main hospital for hunger cases. Overwhelming staff at the Patients' Friends Hospital in northern Gaza. Doctors say children with no underlying health issues are now dying. The first such cases at the hospital since the war began. We are very afraid that the number of deaths will increase, and I'm not just talking about the children. We are also talking about the people who are providing services to the children, the employees. The employees are not able to provide full and essential services to the children. Aid groups warn the rising toll marks a tipping point. Not only children, usually the most vulnerable, are falling victim, but adults too. This is a Zimbo, he carried a gun and went to fight the Jews. The war is still going on, but they should open the crossroads and help the children. If we let this boy go, maybe in a minute or two he'll be gone. He won't be with his God. We didn't let him go. Israel has recently allowed limited aid shipments into Gaza, but says Hamas is disrupting distribution. The UN blames Israeli restrictions and is calling for full humanitarian access.
